PLAN A PRIVATE SAFARI

Share your dream luxury African journey – and Oculus Travel will make it a reality.

I turn bucket lists and travel daydreams into real-life, fully curated, and personalized itineraries as meaningful (and fun!) as they are memorable. We'll get to know each other in a free, no-obligation Discovery Call in which I will come to understand your wishes, travel preferences, and priorities deeply to ensure we’re a good match. If we connect, we will take the exciting next steps to create a luxury holiday through Africa that is tailor made for you.

Itinerary Creation for Solo Travelers & Groups
With so many exciting African travel experiences to choose from and Tetris into a trip, putting a realistic itinerary together can be overwhelming.

Contact me to inquire about creating a custom journey, joining one of our pre-curated specialist tours, or creating your own hosted group adventure together. You bring the dream and I will bring the expertise to make it a reality with seamless logistics, on-the-ground support, and complete peace of mind.

Hand over the reins of your journey to dedicated hosts so they can handle the logistics and detailed decision-making and you can focus on relaxing and having the trip of a lifetime.

Be swept up in an African travel adventure curated for you and personally hosted with your dream in mind. In today’s world of decision fatigue – in my opinion – this is the ultimate luxury.

International Flight Arrangements
Although itineraries by Oculus Travel exclude international flights, I have found a wonderful partner – Regal Wings.

They offer a specialized concierge service that manages all aspects of your international air travel – from bookings to rescheduling and refunds. They also handle all interactions with the airlines for fast, simple, hassle-free travel and peace of mind.
